I don't know about you, but I have written an entire novel. And it is brilliant. The problem is, the entire thing still lives in my head. I have started, stopped, started stopped so many times it's driving me crazy. Also, I have little to no feedback and would love to talk and listen about plot, ideas, critiques and encouragement. This is the first group I've started so I have no rules or activities, just have fun and write. I would love to hear your ideas as much as tell you mine.

Interested in reading and writing poetry? We'll meet monthly or weekly (depending on interest) to discuss poetry we read together and workshop poems.

This meetup is for writers of ALL types of genres. Whether you are a poet or a prosaist, a graphic novelist or a children's book author, each is a storyteller with a need for an audience.

However, critiques are kind and painless. What should you bring to a meeting? Copies of your writing and a pen …

This is an established, albeit small, critique group. Most of us are working on novels. We're hoping to add a few perceptive readers and talented writers to our circle. We operate very informally. Between meetings we trade chapters or excerpts, and when we meet, we discuss the work and give each other feedback. We attempt to address overall structural/plausibility issues as well as minor stylistic issues. Genre fiction is welcome, and we've discussed short fiction, poetry, and screenplays in the …
